Heard of the Rutgers grease trucks? These truck-based food vendors are a part of Rutgers tradition, so well known that they have their own Wikipedia listing. You’ll find everything from burgers and fries to their legendary “fat” sandwiches (the name speaks for itself). The trucks can be found by the Allison Road Classroom (ARC) building on Busch Campus, near the Cook Student Center on Cook Campus, and near the Alexander Library and the River Dorms on the College Avenue Campus, among other places.
